Riku Tao has given up on finding a sub who complements him. Heâll stick with doing demonstrations at the BDSM club the Edge. He certainly doesnât have time for a closeted Catholic guy with internalized biphobia... and yet he cannot help but want to protect Stefano and give him what he needs. A history of physical and sexual abuse makes it impossible for Stefano to come out of the closet, and Riku certainly isnât going back in.
Perhaps an arrangement of six months to explore their desires will be enough to satisfy them both.
Or it might break their hearts.
To take hold of his future with the man heâs coming to love, Stefano will need to move beyond the pain of his past, and he wonât be able to do it alone.
